Looking for some turn-based strategy/tactics game recommendations.

I’ve already played XCOM and XCOM 2 (plus dlc and the long war) and enjoyed both.

Doesn’t have to be exactly like XCOM though. I’m pretty open on setting/theme too sci-fi, fantasy, historical, milsim, whatever.

Main thing I’m looking for is something with good tactical combat and a good amount of replayability. Ideally something I can get a lot of hours out of through the base game, DLC, different campaigns/builds/factions, mods, etc.

Some kind of progression or customization between battles would be a bonus too.

Open to older games and indies as well.

Would also love to hear why you recommend it, especially what makes it stand out or keeps you coming back to it.

So far I have enjoyed Corpse Party, Kio's adventure and Doki Doki Literature club. Can someone recommend me some more creepy, morbid rpg games?

HELLO— as the title suggests I am completely new to playstation games & i am already in deep 🤪

My boyfriend has a ps2 and we’ve been having so much fun collecting games and playing them. we recently went through his garage and found his old ps1, which he said i can have to play at my own house. i bought the power cord, controller & a whole ass tv from the thrift store to play 🥲 and now i need game ideas !!

Please let me know which ones are best to try, i am open to mostly anything but i particularly like adventure/open world type games where you explore and eventually fight the bad guys.

So far i like these games on ps2 for reference: scooby doo night of 100 frights, spongebob movie game, fairly odd parents game, family guy etc.

thankyou in advance ! :)

Exploration is really important as it brings me so much joy and satisfaction

What would you guys suggest to someone who's not really into open world but liked Hogwarts Legacy? They're into story/choices games, puzzles, and not too overcomplicated controls with clear objectives, nothing too pricey. Also would prefer 1st or 3rd person POV

Thanks in advance guys 🙏

Hi. Need a bit of help. New to Pc gaming and wanted to know if steam or the x box app is better. Also any peoples thoughts on games (free or paid ) to try out.

Many thanks

Hey all, looking for some recommendations for some new games with the current steam sale. Wife got me a steam gift card so have some funds to go through.

Currently looking for something I can sink some time into, Rpg/build crafting. Current most liked games being:

-path of exile 2

-elden ring

-dark souls 3

-wukong

-lies of p

-E33

-hollow knight/silksong (have these on switch)

Games I'm considering for various reasons:

-nine sols - I think it's obvious given the games above that this may be one I would enjoy just have seen mixed reviews.

-hollow knight/silksong - id buy these on steam just to play them again/get achievements and have access to mods. Not on sale so no huge rush

-chrono trigger. It's cheap, it's one of my first games ever when I was a kid and I still have the snes cartridge.

-original final fantasy 7, and other og pixel FF's - I've played just about all the final fantasy games but it has been a while

-Grim dawn - from what I understand it's a fairly massive ARPG with good build crafting. It doesn't do the whole season thing so I'm not sure about replayability or just overall time sink. On the other hand it's $4

-wuchang fallen feathers/first berserker khazan -not sure which to get if either. Have seen reviews saying khazan is peak combat (which I love) but fallen feathers is more story/lore/environment. I really enjoyed lies of p so if that's any indication for help making a rec.

-dark souls 1 remastered - Its a souls so its on my list but I'm not sure about the pacing (I've heard mixed things) or general "quality" of the game for 2026. Sure I have some older stuff on my list but ds1 still fetches a decent price so just not quite sold on it but am considering

So ya, any other recs or input on the games above would be great. Huge bonus points of the game plays well on a steam deck/ROG ally x (I have the Xbox ally x).
